To explore factors that may be involved in the persistent paucity of women leaders in U.S. academic medicine and to provide baseline gender-related data for developing strategies to promote gender equity in academic medicine leadership.
Using data sets from the Association of American Medical Colleges, the authors examined the relationship of gender to career progression and to deanship characteristics by conducting descriptive and correlation statistical analyses for 534 full and interim deans (38 women; 496 men) appointed between 1980 and November 2006 (inclusive) to serve U.S. Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME)-accredited medical schools.
Although the number of women deans increased during the 27-year study period, the representation of women remains low (they constitute only 15% of deans appointed from 2000 to 2006) and has failed to keep pace with the percentages of women medical school faculty and students. On average, women deans-most with deanships at less research-intensive medical schools-obtained their initial doctorates from similarly less research-intensive schools, held more business-related advanced degrees beyond the original doctorate, took longer to be promoted to full professor, and had shorter tenures than did their men counterparts.
Women leaders of U.S. LCME-accredited medical schools have taken longer to advance through the academic ranks, serve at less research-intensive institutions, and had shorter tenures than did men deans. These results underscore the challenges women leaders face in traditionally male-dominated organizations, and they provide baseline data to inform medical schools building inclusive senior leadership teams.
探讨可能导致美国学术医学领域女性领导者持续匮乏的因素，并为制定促进学术医学领导领域性别平等的策略提供与性别相关的基础数据。
作者使用美国医学协会的数据组，通过对 1980 年至 2006 年 11 月（含）期间任命的 534 名全职和临时院长（38 名女性；496 名男性）的职业发展和院长特征与性别之间的关系进行描述性和相关性统计分析，以考察性别与职业发展的关系。这些院长被任命到美国医学教育联络委员会（LCME）认可的医学院。
尽管在 27 年的研究期间，女性院长的数量有所增加，但女性的代表性仍然很低（她们只占 2000 年至 2006 年任命的院长的 15%），而且没有跟上女性医学院教师和学生的比例。平均而言，女性院长（大多数在研究密集度较低的医学院担任院长）最初从类似的研究密集度较低的学校获得博士学位，拥有更多的商业相关的高级学位，晋升为正教授的时间更长，任期比男性院长短。
美国 LCME 认可的医学院的女性领导者在学术等级上晋升的时间更长，在研究密集度较低的机构任职，任期比男性院长短。这些结果强调了女性领导者在传统上由男性主导的组织中所面临的挑战，并为正在建立包容性高级领导团队的医学院提供了基础数据。
